TI FilterPro is a mess

Sure, but my problem was with the time spent discussing the details of switcher design. Some was fine (actually it all was) but the subject was LT Spice.

Sure, but that's one of the details I didn't think he needed to spend so much time on. It really didn't show much of LT Spice.

I'll probably go again, too, if the boss is in a good mood next year. I just thought I could have gotten a lot more out of it. That said, I'd probably go to a seminar on switcher design, too, but that wasn't supposed to be it.

I hope you included your thoughts on the questionnaire. It might benefit everyone.

Personally, I would like for Mike to show, in detail, all those little tricks that are second nature to him. He went through one of them that I swore I would remember and use, but could never find it when I got home.

However, I'm never disappointed in these sessions.

I did. I also gave them a good review because it was a good session, just not what was advertised.

Not having used LT Spice I knew I'd have no chance of copying those tricks. I got the wire-through-the-component stroke (neat) but never figured out how he dropped the ground on one end.

I'm only disappointed in that it wasn't what was advertised. I needed what was advertised more than the content given. Again, it was a worthwhile day (a day in Atlanta beats a day at work, hands down ;-) and Mike certainly has one of the better presentation styles I've seen, but I didn't feel that I got what I went there for.

Press the g key on the keyboard (while on the schematic) to activate the ground symbol.

OK, but FilterPro *does* do active delay lines, which might just be handy.

Hi John,

I agree with you. V3 is a big piece of sh... I don't understand, why they kick away a small usefull and handy tool just to offer a software with a useless but wizardlike userinterface (well for very beginners?) But more why not offer both?

Not only in your mind.

This seems to work good enough for me. May be we can get v2 from TI too?

Right, it is. And there is a great community in yahoo-groops.

AFAIR ist this very special designed for a few LT chips.

Did you not get the LTSpice Hotkey handout? It's on there as well as some other nifty quickies.

If you need a copy, I can scan it and email it to you.

Yeah, but I don't know what I did with it. I've been busy putting the final touches on a couple of products, again.

I should have it somewhere in my pile of debris.
